Modern over-ear headphones are good sound all-rounders. The Technics EAH-A800 won the test thanks to their long battery life, great sound and a powerful app. The solid Space One from Soundcore deliver a lot of headphones for little money.
- Clear sound
- Very effective noise cancelling
- high wearing comfort
- Treble a little quiet
- poor battery life
- a little sweaty with time
- Light and comfortable
- Effective noise suppression
- Solid battery life
- No ANC setting
- Missing intelligent functions
- A lot of plastic
Although the QuietComfort 45 are good in many ways, especially in terms of comfort and noise cancellation, they lack many of the features we would expect from flagship headphones.
Greater wearing comfort, longer battery life, better sound, more effective ANC. The QuietComfort 45 are Bose's best headphones yet.
- Excellent ANC
- very light
- excellent operation
- A little quiet on the mobile
- moderate battery life
Bose's QC 45 offers strong noise cancellation in combination with a good and fresh sound. Telephone calls are less enthusiastic: Although the muffling of noise works well, spoken words come across as slightly tinny and sharp.
- Enormously high comfort
- Very good noise cancelling (ANC)
- Great Bluetooth range
- Good battery runtimes
- Acoustics can be exhausting
- Robotic system voice
